Same story like the one from pataphysicien...
My first harder album was "Arise" / Sepultura , to the time when it came out!! Heard it in a friends room and was totally shocked I thought "Why the fuck are they doing this ??" Total chaos... but wait ... no.... it seems to have some strange structure in it... but what the fuck..... ???
I really canīt say that i liked it when i first heard it.

Big on Cannibal Corpse and Sepultura etc in my early years, then a mate in high school brought Burzum's debut CD in one day on his discman. Things were never quite the same again._________________Good traders: Professor Black, Golden Bull, Albin, TheUnborn, knochen, Valgrinder, Sv., dangerass, dalecooper, s.charlach, into the pit

a good friend of mine also brought the first burzum cd to a party I was at to show it to me. I remember feeling sick to my stomach listening to Vargs vocals- even asked the guy to turn it off. at the time i listened to a little death metal but most regular heavy metal.. but BURZUM was taking shit to far _________________Buy my KVLT: http://www.nwnprod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60310

i think i was 13 or something. and i owned the "one- maxi cd from metallica". i was with my grandma shopping in the city when she asked if she could buy me something.... mhhhhh i decided i want a cd. so we went to the next store and i looked for metallica. i found a cd copy from "ride the lightning" and my grandma buy it for me.... that fucking cd changed my life. after that i searched for harder stuff.

My uncle showed me slayer when i was 7 or 8 years old and it scared the living fuck out of me! He would make me compilation cd's of Iron Maiden, Slayer and Sepultura in the years to follow. I would listen to them on loop and play Tony Hawk Pro Skater every day lol._________________"Without leather, you could die! Without fighting, you could die!

I was 11 and I'd purchased Obituary's Slowly we Rot cassette based on a friends recommendation. Fucking hated it. There were no pics of the band but for some reason I pictured the band as these nerds with short hair and glasses. I dunno why, but I seriously thought it was the dorkiest shit I'd ever heard. So I promptly went back to listening to cool shit like NIN. Haha

I remember my brother was a member of this music mailorder. Each month he'd recieve a small mag with the latest releases. I used to flick through them, not really finding anything of interest. That's until sometime in 1984, when one of the mags contained a big ad for the Don't Break The Oath album. That cover had it all and it just screamed BUY ME! haha asked my brother if he wasn't going to buy it (abit of a longshot as he usually went for the top 10 chart albums)?? "ehmmm no?" I believe his reply was.
I had no idea who the band was or what kind of music they played, but that cover was just too good to miss out on hehe as I was just 7 at the time, I quickly forgot about that album.

Around 88/89 I borrowed a Show No Mercy cd from a kid at school. I had my brother make a tape copy of the cd, as I didn't yet have a cd player (6th graders didn't exactly get pampered with audio equipment back then). Anyhu forgot all about the tape, until one day when I was washing my dad's car. Popped the tape in my walkman and was completely blown away by the sonic assault!! Never heard anything like it, but it just made sense hehe
The following monday, I went to the local second hand shop and bought the vinyl version of Show No Mercy.
Completely skipped the whole heavy metal scene, as that was too slow for me. Within a year I had "discovered" Kreator, Sodom etc. A few months later I saw the video for Left Hand Path, which was a totally different ballgame, but I loved it.

first encounter with death metal was at a local music shop where Tue Madsen (nowadays a somewhat famous producer who has done Kataklysm, The Haunted, Sick of it All etc) was working. I had previously purchased "...and justice for all" from him and the next time I was at the shop I told him to put on the most brutal metal he had. He put on Deicide "Deicide" which had been released a few months prior, and as soon as I heard the opening riff to Lunatic of God's Creation I was sold... spent a lot of money in that shop buying death metal based on his recommandations the following years!
